Description Yep~ This one is for my mom for her birthday!


Ok, so interesting story with this one. Interesting but short.

I was bored and browsing random amigurumi on google and happened upon an image of this:

My mom saw it and asked me to make her one similar.
I was thinking of just buying it, but...I forgot her birthday was today till literally around 9 pm last night. @.@;

I had to hurriedly make one between my classes from what I could remember. X___X

I think it ended up all right. ^^
It's not exact like in Twistyfishies' creation, but I think it's for the best. @.@; Don't want her fans to get on my case for claiming this as my own. (For the record, I DON'T CLAIM IT AS MY OWN!)

How I tackled this was the same way I tackled the Bun-Buns, though with different legs and antennae instead of ears. XD;

The wings were another story. I was striving more for accuracy, so my fiance, , and I were discussing real wings of bees. We weren't sure if the four wings were fused into two (or at least I wasn't. XD) and we went on this crazy search while I was rushing to finish this little one. @.@

Either way, I'm pleased how this wee bee ended up, but I wonder if I should add the omitted pair of legs if I ever make another bee.

In the end, this is just my take on it. It's not as cute as the original, but my mom can't tell the difference. She's just happy that she got something adorable to brighten her day. :3



Also, I'm planning on trying something a little different from what I've been making. ;3 So keep an eye out for those posts.

Yours is way cuter. Though, that might just be a bit of bias. Maybe. Who cares.

Good thing you didn't forget your moms b-day. xD Happy Birthday to her.

Also, hurray for wanting accuracy. I don't know how bee wings work either. xD Yay for the internet!

Awww thanks man. XD
I know, but there are people out there who freak out when they see something similar.
I swear, I'd have to list the credit in the whole of the artists comment if they're bad enough X___X

XD It really is. It was~ She was so surprised~

I saw a video on how they flap them and it was insane and awesome. @w@;
Yaaaaay

Yeah. I mean, for a few things, I can understand. If it was copied exactly, yeah. And yours is pretty similar, so it could be a small problem. But you know you can take something and make it your own. Not stealing, but altering it enough. Because if someone has an idea and then no one else is allowed to build on it, how can we progress, you know? Like... so this person make a crochet bee. Does that automatically mean no one else can without giving credit?
I don't know. I'm rambling, and it's probably not making a lick of sense. Sorry about that. I didn't sleep very well.
I guess I'm trying to say that as long as you don't directly copy something and you improve upon something, it can be your own. I don't know. @_@;

That's always good. Surprising people is fun. ^^

That would be pretty interesting to see. Bees are awesome little creatures, though the Bee Movie gives the Bees too much credit.
